Good Morning Joe, manxman, Haroula and Cailyn. Joe my sisters and I teased my brother Joe when we were little by calling him "JoeJoe the dog face" boy. I haven't heard that expression in years. Manxman is that your kitty in the avatar picture? What a beautiful cat! Haroula enjoy your day. Cailyn I am in need of that coffee every morning! Thank you! Hope all Boomers have a great day!

Good morning boomies. I slept in which felt great this morning and I'm ready to tackle the day. Hubby said one of my regular squirrels was standing at the patio door on his hind legs looking into the house for me because I was late. I miss the one that used to knock when they ran out of peanuts.

Joe, glad you don't have to close and hope the customers are kind today. Thanks for getting us started with a smile today.

soot, I hope you have fun plans today!

SpaceQ, enjoy the day. You were up early today!

Connie, can you use the pool without the parts and is it warm enough for pool weather?

Gail, have fun shopping.

Gerry, it's great walking weather here, hope it's the same where you are.

Good morning and have a great Saturday Joe, manxman, Haroula, Cailyn, Gerry, Space Quest, Gail, Connie, soot, Ana, Nan and all who come in after me.

Well, I'm off today. Had a terrible day at work yesterday. My manager came to visit, and he informed me that someone at the store is saying that I never do anything while I'm there. Which is ridiculous since I'm working hard from the time I'm there until the time I leave. Luckily, he didn't believe the rumor - he can see evidence that it isn't true anyway - however, it is sabotaging my job nevertheless. If he keeps getting complaints, I could lose my job. So, I hate to do it, but I'm going to have to start documenting everything I'm doing and have the store managers sign what I document. Such a hassle, but I have to so something.

I'm pretty sure I know who it is. She used to work in the department I'm in, and is probably still upset that she no longer does. It's the reason I transferred to the vendor company. I was also in that position with the store, but they kept giving more and more hours to the vendors and fewer to us. I understand she wishes she was still in that position, but firstly, that isn't my fault. And secondly, it's been over a year, and she still has more hours and makes more than I do in the position she's in. She should move past it already.

So, anyway, that was my big complaint for the day. Today fiance and I are off to the store. I need a new work shirt, and we have grocery shopping to do.

Re: Saturdiner - 05/18/1311:53 AM

I can empathize with you venus! I had a temporary secretary job (working with my dad in a peace corps training camp) and the other gals all banded together and got me fired. Was awful. They actually got a hold of some paperwork (time sheets) I'd typed up and CHANGED the amounts to make it look like I was totally incompetent. They sure did a great job and I was booted. No easy boot either since were were actually in a 'camp' and I lived in a cabin with them and when I returned off a weekend home, all my stuff was packed and outside the cabin. First clue to something was wrong.

Good luck with your job saboteur. Invite her out to lunch and see how fast she runs the other way. Be overly kind to her and maybe she will get the idea that you KNOW. Leave little 'gifts' on her desk (a flour, notepad, etc.) and make sure she knows they are from you her 'friend'. That should make her really uneasy.

I've done that with someone who hated me and it actually worked. Kill them with kindness. Also works on siblings. Ask my sister.

Super Saturday ya'll

I slept in and in and in today. After getting up at 4 a.m. (and waking at 3 a.m.) I needed it. Then did some research and some ordering at Amazon, some weather research for son, calling b'day son (at the movie...ooops) to sing Happy Birthday to him, we are now thinking about walking the 4 legged monkeys.

Supposed to be grey and overcast all day. Tis a good thing and a bad thing. Son was going to take the kids to the lake all day today, so that is not good for him. On the other hand, we could probably use a bit of rain.

Anyone heading out to see the new Star Trek movie?

Hubby and I are working on our wills today. Son thinks it is morbid but I think it is reasonable and should hubby and I die together, it will make all the kids lives easier. We haven't done it since they were teens, so lots of changes needed.

Daughter is sickie baby. Wish she were here and I could baby her.

Skyman has a big shaved patch on his side which made hubby hurt when he saw it. Good thing he is not a show dog (Skyman not Big Soot).

We will also clean ears and cut nails today.

Hang in there Venus. As Ana said, that is all too prevalent. Daughter is dealing with the same thing in her military office (where this stuff should never ever happen but does) right now. The nice thing about the military is one always knows either the bad egg will leave or you will due to transfers.

Edit: Back from our walk. Clouds rolled in just as we left. My book really heated up so now I have to walk tomorrow to see what happened.

Then home to feed dogs and feed us. Had a great smoothie called the Everything Smoothie...and it is...lol...and peanut butter toast.

Hubby headed out to wash cars and I'm going to clean up the kitchen and do some laundry but wanted to to you all first.

Happy Saturday Friends!In the 90s F here as usual. Don't expect anything different until October. Ana, I have the same issue as you do. I can't foresee me ever working anywhere but home if I do get another job. Too much drama and angst. I can't handle the stress anymore without it affecting my health seriously.One of Remy's ears has straightened up and now waiting for the other one. He's still living with his mom til 1st wk of June. I put a new pic on my FB page.Well, got to go do my laundry and housework. Wishing all a good weekend!Andrea PS Hope SharonB is OK. Good thoughts headed your way, Midgie!

Re: Saturdiner - 05/19/1312:18 AM

Rather late even here but first chance to stay a moment. Midgie, Nan and venus, I hope you get your troubles sorted out soon. I know some things never quite get set right again but I do hope you are all feeling better in the morning. Hi to everyone else. Ana, have you heard from Miss Gimli recently? Hope your time in the corner is about up. I will be interested in the brace for Merlin and I hope it is what he needs. Sweet dreams everyone and Happy Gaming!!
